Last night, or this morning, I had a strange dream.
I dreamt that I was living in an apartment that a was huge garage converted into an apartment. Think, United States of Tara when Kate makes friends with the artist who has her apartment/studio in a garage (one wall is the garage door with all the windows in it).
There were lots of cats sitting in different places in the apartment, cats of different colors, and I was trying to figure out how to get them homes I guess. Then there were cockroaches, and the superintendent was there trying to kill them. BIG roaches. One of them had crawled up my body and was resting on my left collarbone.
Then I went to the washroom, and the tub faucet was turned on, the water was about to spill over the side of the tub, I was trying to turn it off.
So this morning, I did as I usually do when I have a strange dream, I visit DreamMoods.com and look up the various things that stuck out to me in the dream. Below I've copied/pasted the meanings the website has given, and in light of what's going on in my life right now, the explanations make a lot of sense to me.

Bathtubs
To see or be in a bathtub in your dream suggests a need for self-renewal and escape from everyday problems. You need to rid yourself of the burdens that you have been carrying. Alternatively, it indicates your mood for love and pursuit of pleasure and relaxation.

Cockroach
To see a cockroach in your dream symbolizes uncleanness. It also signifies longevity, tenacity and renewal. You need to reevaluate major aspects of your life. Alternatively, the dream represents an undesirable aspect of yourself in which you need to confront. A roach may also be a pun on smoking marijuana.

Cat
To see a cat in your dream symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. It also represents misfortune and bad luck. The dream symbol has different significance depending on whether you are a cat lover or not....(this one goes on for a while to explain different significances of cats in dreams)...

I find that my dreams help me to process and make sense of life, often they "speak to me" as the expression goes. Do you find that dreams help you to work through stuff too? Or do they seem more like nonsense and just your unconscious mind playing around and decompressing? Have you had any dreams that have freaked you out because they're so true to life or seem like premonitions to something that then happens in your waking life? I'd be interested to hear/read your dream stories.
I'll leave you with a picture of my newly adopted cat! Happy Saturday!
